Gohmert!!!
Burn Baby burn!
Is Chaffetz the only one running against McCarty?
To quote Speaker of the House Thomas Brackett Reed, “They could do worse, and they probably will!”
Amnesty-friendly Chaffetz is not really better than Amnesty-friendly McCarthy.
No... there are 3... the third is the Conservative Daniel Webster.
At least one conservative rating, I’m now looking at, has
McCarthy at 45%, and Chaffetz at 82%.
He appears to be a stalking horse.
Rep Webster is running too.
Chaffetz? Now way. First, I would want to know the real scandal why he was rejected in past. Something doesn’t read right and it will hurt Republicans.
Why haven’t we heard from Louie Gohmert? He would be my choice.
Speaker of the House? Keepers of the purse should all be in prison.
Socialism Is Legal Plunder
The Results of Legal Plunder
It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.

Rules for Changing a Limited Republican Government into an Unlimited Hereditary One…
6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt…
7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands to give them an interest against their constituents…
9. The management of a great funded debt and a extensive system of taxes will afford a plea, not to be neglected, for establishment of a great incorporated bank. the use of such a machine is well understood. If the Constitution, according to its fair meaning, should not authorize it, so much the better. Push it through by a forced meaning and you will get in the bargain an admirable precedent for future misconstructions.
10. “Divide and govern”…
11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

Debates in the House of Representatives on the First Report on Public Credit 9–18 February 1790
James Jackson (Ga.)
But it is doubted with me whether a permanent funded debt is beneficial or not to any country.
The same effect must be produced that has taken place in other nations; it must either bring on a national bankruptcy or annihilate her existence as an independent empire. Hence I contend, sir, that a funding system, in this country, will be highly dangerous to the welfare of the republic; it may, for a moment, raise our credit and increase the circulation, by multiplying a new species of currency; but it must, in times afterward, settle upon our posterity a burthen which they can neither bear nor relieve themselves from. It will establish a precedent in America that may, and in all probability will, be pursued by the sovereign authority until it brings upon us that ruin which it has never failed to bring, or is inevitably bringing, upon all the nations of the earth who have had the temerity to make the experiment.

I’ll take Chaffetz over McCarthy any day.
Law enforcement organizations don’t like independent thinkers, so I wouldn’t hold that against him. Might even be a plus.
<<< I’ll take Chaffetz over McCarthy any day.>>>
Second THAT.
Why do these people keep patting themselves on the back saying things like Boehner got the majority blah blah blah, Boehner had nothing to do with us voters that gave them the majorities. It really irks me.
Most government jobs are private clubs who do not welcome outsiders. Once in awhile they will let an outsider in, but only if they can't find one of their own competent enough to do the job. They are the exception, not the rule.
Good idea, but his 20 votes get's him squat.
Judas Chaffetz Announces His Bid For Speaker of The House….
Posted on October 4, 2015 by sundance
Oh, if only Judas Chaffetz could re-write history; perhaps then an electorate could ignore the fact we have Senator Orin Hatch because Representative Judas Chaffetz took Tom Donohue’s 2011 Chamber of Commerce bribery money and agreed not to challenge Hatch in Utah’s 2012 primary (state delegate convention, not election).
In addition to significant amounts of cash, Chaffetz was also promised establishment perks, a House GOP leadership position, and key chairmanship in exchange for his collaboration.
Now Judas wishes to rise in defense of a common sense constitutional electorate which he previously betrayed.
I’ll take Chaffetz over McCarthy any day.
Chaffetz is a climber who will be no better than McCarthy in the end. He’s got a bad case of Potomac fever and would sell his mother to K Street.
